> FICTION PRO JECT

THE 1ST PROJECT OF THE 1ST TERM OF THE 2ND YEAR WAS CALLED ''FICTION'' AND THE PREMISE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE A BOOK FROM A BOOK LIST AND MAKE 9 SE QUENTIAL DRAWINGS TO ILLUSTRATE THE BOOK...... ..... ...I CHOSE THE BOOK ''SPIECES OF SPACES AND OTHER PIECES, BY GEORGES PEREC'' WICH DESPITE NOT PARTICULALRLY ENJOYING I CAN SEE IT'S IMPORTANCE IN TERMS OF THE WAY IT CAN MAKE YOU VIEW SPACE(S). IN PARTICULAR I HAVE BECOME GEEKISHLY OBSESSED WITH CORNERS, STAIR CASES, AND THE LINES WHERE WALLS MEET OTHER WALLS OR FLOORS OR DOORS OR ETC.

THE IDEA OF THE WORK HAVING TO MAKE A SERIES OR SEQUENCE IS THE MOST CHALLENGING ASPECT OF THE PROJECT BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I TEND TO THINK IN A NARRATIVE SENSE, THE BOOK HAS LITTLE TO NO NARRITVE STRUCTURE TO IT.

I THINK THE WAY TO GET AROUND THIS ISSUE IS TO HAVE THE SERIES HELD TOGETHER BY A STRONG SENSE OF CONTINUATION BETWEEN MATERIALS OR IDEAS RATHER THAN TRYING TO TELL A STORY. I DID WANT TO DO THIS BY MAKING A SERIES OF OBJECTS BUT DUE TO ILLNESS I HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME I WOULD HAVE LIKED. . . . .
